Appl. No.:

10/816779

Inventors:

Christopher Wesley - Redwood City CA, US

US Classification:

707/010000

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a blocking layer prevents a client computer without a pass from accessing a website. The blocking layer may have opaque or transparent portions, and may prevent an end-user on the client computer from interacting with the website. The pass may comprise a cookie, for example. Depending on implementation, the client computer may still be provided temporary access to the website to minimize any negative effect the blocking layer may have on website traffic. The end-user may also be provided an offer to gain permanent access to the website.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a web page stored in a first server computer includes a reference to a wrapping code stored in a second server computer. The wrapping code may be pulled into a client computer when the page is downloaded to the client computer. Upon execution in the client computer, the wrapping code may add a functionality to the web page. The functionality added by the wrapping code may be activated along with a pre-existing functionality of the web page in response to a user interaction with the web page.

International Classification:

H04N 100
H04M 1100

US Classification:

358400

Abstract:

A method and a structure for providing electronic mail, facsimile transmission and file transfer maintain a data base in which the communication parameters of a local computer are maintained separately from the communication parameters of a remote computer which communicates the local computer. The data base includes an electronic address book in which a method and a structure are provided for specifying person, group, computer, calling card and service data. The person type data includes specification of a preference for data, or facsimile transmission. Service information are efficiently added because of modularly designed application programming interface. A method and a structure are also provided to allow synchronization between files residing on different computers.
